    @Kephrii @OW_SVB I see overwatch Devs asvictims of toxic crunch, toxic company and largely toxic community that's the problem here. Good things come to those who wait. Then there's the huge DDOS attack (We can't exactly prove it was or wasn't a thing so I personally don't want to blame OW devs

    @mr_evaporation At this point I don't care about the new characters in Overwatch 2. Just put Crash Bandicoot character in there and it will automatically become the best game ever. No wait, Overwatch 2 will become Wumpa League this way.

    Seeing the same issues Halo Infinite had (I say had because that game's done) as well as OW1's issues, not to mention that it is Act+Blizzard I don't see Overwatch 2 surviving at all mid term.

    Seems like they fixed the queue issue in Overwatch 2 is fixed. Too bad in unranked you either stomp or get stomped. No in between xD but now with less people.

    @GasterGamingOF @kxsif Thanks man but they decided to remove the requirement for existing overwatch players entirely because a lot of people had the same problem :D

    @PizzaW0lf12 @TheActMan_YT To directly address your point though; Overwatch is a multiplayer game so there is not much point having it be a physical disk. In 4-10 years when they shut the servers down, a disk is gonna be just as useless as a 40 GB file.

    @PlayOverwatch heyyyy do us all a favor who actually enjoy playing Overwatch and debuff roadhog again. I know he sucked in the first game and all but he’s completely broken and is ruining the experience for everyone else.

    Dear Overwatch 2 players, if your aim feels like crap or you’re having a lot of visibility problems with seeing what is in front of you- go to your accessibility settings and turn everything to either reduced, off or low.

    Matienko (@Matienk0) reported

    @Chiraffo2 Its to be debated which game is more fun but one thing is for sure. Overwatch offers a more stable experience if we ignore the ddos attacks. I want to play without being ****** over by things they never bother to fix bugs and instability for the last 4 years.

    A problem I have with a lot of character design in games is that you wind up with a roster that's mostly just extremely fuckable people because pretty is marketable, but also that can be very boring. My favorite character designs in Overwatch are the least conventionally hot.

    My skins still didn't carry to overwatch 2 on series s and I played the first one on Xbox one. @PlayOverwatch is there a planned fix for this?

    @NyanSox I once won ten games, like hard enemy maybe got 3 downs, and slowed us down for a few seconds. was placed in bronze, Overwatch's systems are all kinda broken.

    @PlayOverwatch i've been playing overwatch since 2020 and even after the upgrade the system still requires a phone number fix it, cause I think I'm not the only one who has this kind of system error

    So Overwatch 2 is Overwatch with skins lost and server issues?

  • _RThree
    R3 (@_RThree) reported

    How do people have a problem with Overwatch 2 being called Overwatch 2 cos its pretty much the same game just reworked entire menu, graphics update, addition of PvE (plus a few other things) no one had a problem when Fortnite did Fortnite 2. It's almost the exact same situation

    Day 4 of "unexpected error" for overwatch 2 and I have yet to actually see the home screen ONCE

  • NatalieNox42
    NatalieNox (@NatalieNox42) reported

    @Jay3OW The real problem is @PlayOverwatch wasn't designed for 5v5. The tanks issue is a symptom of a pointless change that @Blizzard_Ent threw in because it had been years and the game was still just a less complete version of Overwatch.

  • Nosferat_AN
    Nosferat_AN (@Nosferat_AN) reported

    Aight after playing a fair bit of Overwatch 2 i have some thoughts. Balance seems okay, only characters i feel are "too strong" are maybe Dva/Sombra, maybe Ana as well but probably just skill issue. Other than that the only other complaint is sound design is weird sometimes.

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN I been having an issue I have been contacting support since 4th of October for that exact issue which is changing my region. Every ticket I send vanishes or they don't reply to it. I just want to add my phone number so I can play Overwatch.
